NarraLabs Awarded GCC Digital Health Startup of the Year at ZIMAM Forum

We are proud to announce that NarraLabs has been named the GCC Digital Health Startup of the Year at the 8th ZIMAM Digital Health Forum. This prestigious award, presented in collaboration with HIMSS, is a recognition of our work in building the next generation of digital infrastructure for healthcare in the region.

The ZIMAM Digital Health Forum is a landmark event dedicated to shaping an intelligent and connected digital health landscape. This year's theme aligns perfectly with our core mission: to build modern patient registries that bridge the critical gap between clinical workflows, patient engagement, and population health analytics using artificial intelligence.

Bridging the Gaps in Modern Healthcare

Delivering high-quality, value-based care requires a seamless flow of information between providers, patients, and health systems. However, disconnected processes often create gaps, making it difficult to manage patient journeys effectively and derive meaningful insights from health data.

At NarraLabs, we address this challenge head-on. Our AI-native operating system, NarraOS, is designed to create a unified healthcare experience. The platform empowers providers to build and deploy modern, dynamic patient registries that serve as a single source of truth across the entire care continuum.

By turning complex clinical processes into structured, data-rich workflows, NarraOS helps healthcare organizations:

  • Unify Clinical Workflows: Streamline care coordination and ensure adherence to best practices, from screening and diagnosis to long-term disease management.

  • Enhance Patient Engagement: Actively involve patients in their care journeys with automated communication, reminders, and personalized support.

  • Unlock Population Health Analytics: Generate high-quality, real-time data to monitor outcomes, identify trends, and enable proactive, data-driven interventions at scale.

Powering Vision 2030 with AI

As a Saudi physician-founded company, we are deeply committed to supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. This award validates our approach to building the foundational infrastructure for a value-based healthcare system—one that is more efficient, effective, and patient-centered.

We are grateful to the ZIMAM Digital Health Forum and our partners for this honor. It inspires us to continue our work in creating a more connected and intelligent future for healthcare in the GCC and beyond.
